Charlotte Tilbury 2.0

Posted on December 13, 2016

Last month I was invited to attend a Charlotte Tilbury Master Class held at my local Nordstrom. I didn’t know what to expect but I have to say that when I left, I had a different view of these classes. I learned so much that I didn’t know about the Charlotte Tilbury line and applying makeup. For example, did you know there’s the “feline flick” that Charlotte is known for? Did you know that every single product of her’s has ingredients that are beneficial for your skin? Yeah, I didn’t know that either.

Here are reviews on some of the products I picked up after the class!

Magic Cream Treat & Transform Moisturizer | Nordstrom $100: Let me start by stating the obvious, this stuff isn’t cheap. Luckily I had a few Nordstrom Notes that I had saved up and decided to splurge on this little beauty. Charlotte Tilbury made this for the models who would come in to get their makeup done for runway shows and had dry, unhappy skin due to smoking, not eating right and not getting enough sleep. This stuff definitely helps to make your skin look healthy after application. I also love the rose gold packaging! This cream looks luxurious and heavy, but surprisingly it is not. It actually absorbs quite nicely into your skin and does not leave your face greasy. I have been using it every single morning for the last month and my skin actually looks much smoother. The cream has SPF 15 which makes it good for day but you can also use it at night as well.

Color Chameleon Color Morphing Eyeshadow Pencil in Amber Haze | Nordstrom $27.00: I really wanted to love this. It looked great when the makeup artist put it on the model. It’s perfect for creating a smokey eye. However, my contacts really hated this pencil. Every time I used it, I would get a cloud on my contact. If you do not wear contacts, I recommend getting this. It’s wonderful and the color looks great for those with dark brown eyes, but sadly I had to return it.

‘Hot Lips’ Lipstick in Kim KW | Nordstrom $32.00: I didn’t think that I would love this but I did!!! Paired with the Pillow Talk Lip Liner, it looks great. Yes, it is nude so if you are not the type who likes a natural/nude lip, then you will not like this. Me, personally, I love anything natural and nude. The lipstick itself is very moisturizing and not dry at all. I also like how the lipstick itself is shaped. Great for making sure to stay within the lines of your cupid’s bow.

‘Wonderglow’ Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash | Nordstrom $55.00: I saw the makeup artist apply this to the model after the Magic Cream and her skin looked amazing. This is a primer/anti-aging elixir/complexion-enhancer. When I tried , I didn’t really notice anything except my face was shinier. I have continued to use it day after day because I keep hoping that one day I will fall in love with it. At this price, I say skip it. This may have to go back to the store.
